St. Paul daily globe., 1887-01-19
the memory of the dead too profoundly. We


cannot treat the survivors too kindly.
The true test of q mans greatness, gentle
men. is his capacity to always be equal to the
occasion which confronts him. Judged by
this standard, Judge Davis is beyond criti-
cism. Upon many great public occasions we
nave looked to him. and not in vain. When
beloved president was stricken down by The
hand OF an assassin, we turned to our gifted
son OF the state to express in eloquent
and appropriate phrase the sadness of our
hearts. But yesterday when Minneapolis
erected her magnificent edifice to commemOr-
ate the establishment and growth of those
great industries which have made her famous
throughout the world, she turned instinct
lively to our Savant to formulate in graceful
and appropriate speech the gladstone feelings
of her heart
In conclusion, MIR. Speaker, nominate for
the high Office of United States senator, that
profound lawyer, learned scholar and distin-
gulshed gentleman, the Hon. Cushman *.
Davis.

Reese, OF Kandiyohi, seconded the nomina-
tion in brief speech. Mr.. Reese was a
trifie ratified. and did not acquit himself
with his usual credit, Misrepresentation iespec-
tally being disconnected and incomplete.
